This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We can't accept your petition in its current form as it does not call for a clear action from the UK Government and Parliament. You could start a petition calling on Parliament to change the law to require employers to offer full sick pay to cancer sufferers.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
